Scene and Heard

An extremely slender, hot, female drummer dropped us a short e-missile about the show coming to Bourbon's on Saturday, June 30 for a $6 cover.

Here's the low down:

9 p.m. The Alrighters "from Boston (If you have a chance you should check them out) sax, upright, drums and one energetic and highly entertaining singer!!" www.myspace.com/thealrighters 10 p.m. The Humanoids from Boston, The rock/metal/other band with the motto, "Party all-day, Party all-night, Keep on Partying!!" www.myspace.com/thehumanoids 11 p.m. Hotrod Fury, the Spotlight nominated surf/garage/thrash band. 11:45 p.m. Mess with the Bull "This is a band put together by Jay Fortin and Paul Jarvis of Scissorfight combined with Pete from Lamont. Great. They have already toured and they have only been together 6 months." www.myspace.com/messwiththebull

If you'd prefer your entertainment en plein aire, or al fresco, as they say, The Rogers' family is invading Market Square again this year as Pro Portsmouth kicks off its Summer in the Streets Concert Series on Saturday at 5 p.m. (See Page 15)

The family has members in both ROUNDHOUSE and Salt River, which will provide folk and blues. ROUNDHOUSE just released its sophomore album "Kickin' The Dirt," and Salt River is just putting the finishing touches on their next CD, "reflection."

Dover's 80's tribute band GAZPACHO has several big shows leading up to Independence Day. Saturday, June 30 will be the band's only summer appearance at Kelley's Row in Dover. Normally appearing the last Saturday of the month, the band has private engagements taking them elsewhere until September. "Kelley's has been sold out every month this year, so we're hoping to go out with a bang" says keyboardist Jason Keazer. The next night the band takes the stage at the Meadowbrook in Gilford, where it will be opening for 80's superstahs Eddie Money, Scandal and Rick Springfield (they'll be leaving "Jessie's Girl" off their setlist that night). Finally, GAZPACHO will be rocking the fairgrounds yet again for the Rochester Jaycee's Night Before The Fourth Celebration.

While everyone in the band and all their fans are deeply saddened by the passing of Brad Delp, the band Beatlejuice has decided to carry on its mutual love of Beatles music. Several friends of the band have stepped up to help keep the music alive. So head out for a 3-hour all Beatles show of Beatlejuice and Friends on Sunday, July 1 at 4 p.m. It's presented by the Stratham Recreation Commission at Stratham Hill Park. The rest of the 2007 Summer Concert Series features July 8, Banjo Dan and the Mid-nite Plowboys, at 6 p.m.; Aug. 5, Truffle with Dave Gerard, 6 p.m.; Aug. 12, The Alternate Routes, 1 p.m. with Skamasutra, The Dramadies, Going Nowhere, and the 4th Floor Bandits. The concerts are open to the public and donations are encouraged. A food concession will be available at the park. So, grab your blankets, lawn chairs, and dancing shoes, and join us for another season of great music at Stratham Hill Park.

Before "American Idol" and "Nashville Star" there was the New Hampshire Country Music Association Talent Search. They're celebrating their 20th year of finding the finest country talent the state of New Hampshire has to offer. "Over these years many of our winners have moved on to Nashville. Some to make a living and some to fail but they all tried to realize their dream." To start your own dream, kind of like Carrie Underwood, join the NHCMA. The group is currently accepting applications for its 20th Annual Talent Search. Download applications at NHCMA.COM or contact the business office at 373-8242. Deadline for entry is Aug. 17. The winners will be announced at the Palace Theater in Manchester on Oct. 21.

Aaron Lewis, lead singer of Staind will perform a solo acoustic show Aug. 29. You'll be treated to the hits "It's Been Awhile," "outside," "So Far Away," "Right here," and more, plus cover song requests by the audience. Last year, Staind sold out two nights at the Ballroom in 2006 in just days, so don't dilly-dally. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. Tickets range from $30 to $51 and go on sale June 29 at 10 a.m. Call 929-4100 and visit casinoballroom.com for information.
